During the episode of Sunday’s All-Star duet American Idol, Perry, 36, said her duties as a mother took over her daily routine while commenting on competitor Cassandra Coleman’s stellar performance.

“Your voice is a spiritual experience”, the Idol The judge told Coleman about his performance with singer Ryan Tedder. “It’s out of this world, angelic. As a new mother, I don’t have much time, so I stopped shaving my legs. But when you sang, the hair on my legs grew an inch. Full body chills! It was fantastic. “

To prove his point, Perry raised his legs on the judge’s table so the camera could take a look – and fellow judge Luke Bryan confirmed it.

“She literally has hair on her legs,” said Bryan.

In February, Bryan started talking about how Perry is doing as a mom working on the set of ABC’s competitive show.

“It’s really amazing to be there with Katy and to watch her [be a mom], “Bryan, 44, said of his fellow judge, who received his daughter Daisy Dove with fiance Orlando Bloom in late August.” Sometimes, at the break, she will face Tim Orlando and little Daisy Dove. And then, I will say: ‘Hey’. But just watching Katy embrace being a mother is a beautiful thing to watch. I never doubted that she would be an incredible mother. “

“She had come to the set; she would have been nursing all night,” he added of the breastfeeding mother. “Katy is at the peak of things with nursing, so we had to work around her schedule. But she has been a nuisance and showing up and working as she always does. I know she is doing this with the least amount of sleep, so she is a rock star. “
